Advanced Children's Rights Clinic

As a student in the Advanced Children’s Rights Clinic, you will represent clients in cases involving child custody, protection orders, adoptions, and child abuse and neglect. The clinic seeks to represent survivors of domestic violence in any case it accepts.

Admission is by permission of the instructor. It is recommended, but not required, that students have completed at least 59 credit hours to apply for certification as legal interns under Rule II of the Ohio Supreme Court. This certification allows a student, under the professor's supervision, to conduct a trial and otherwise speak on the record in court.

Student interns are responsible for all aspects of their clients' cases, including interviewing, counseling, research, discovery, negotiation, pleading and motion practice, alternative dispute resolution, court appearances, trial preparation and practice, and appeals
